[Resolved] When I import 1080p interlaced .MOV file it always crash

So i've been using hitfilm for a while with low quality content so now when i buyed a better camera that shoot 1080p 60 fps, and always when i try to import the program crash i can still import lower quality, but not my new content. I use Windows 10 with an AMD FX 6350, 8 gigs of ram and a GTX 960 2 gb.

@SirJohnSmith The mediainfo report you listed is a major subset of the info MediaInfo reports. It appears to be only the general information. Please provide the full report.

Now that you specified the source camera, and it is a Nikon digicam, it is a little surprising you are having problems with a Nikon DSLR/digicam type file. The MediaInfo report will give more details and leave less to the imagination.

What the info you did report the file is pretty small. Maybe you could post the file somewhere and we could try importing the file on our machines.

@SirJohnSmith Very curious. That media is interlaced. I have never heard of a digicam that output interlaced media.

The media is not 60 frames per second but rather 60 fields per second interlaced which is 30 frames per second.

Hitfilm does not work well with interlaced media and you are better off just recording at 30 fps progressive.

If you use the 60i media then your timeline should be 30 fps (29.97) and then you will/may want to use the deinterlace effect. That effect will lower quality some depending on settings. The camera media may be recorded progressive but stored in file as interlaced. Such media may not really need the deinterlace effect.

Well first thing is that's not 1080p @60fps. It's actually interlaced footage stored as 60 fields per second. HitFilm doesn't like interlaced footage under the best of circumstances and I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of footage in an MOV is a big chunk of the problem. Try changing the file extension from MOV to MP4 and then see if HitFilm will import it. If it works then you'll need to apply the Deinterlace effect and I suspect anything other than 29.97 fps project will you give unexpected results.

As far as I know your camera isn't actually capable of recording 1080p video @60fps. What it can do is burst capture stills at up to 60 stills per second for up to 2 seconds at a time.

EDIT: Just checked the reference manual for your camera. The 1080 video option is interlaced only, not progressive. To get 60 fps progressive from that you'll have to de-interlace using field interpolation in something other than HitFilm like VirtualDub.

The 1080 "progressive" option for your camera is the Motion Snapshot mode. This is a burst capture of stills like I mentioned earlier. According to the reference manual stills are captured at a rate of 60 stills per second for 1.6 seconds then played back at 24 fps for about 4 seconds of slow motion.
